Alexander Calandrelli was the sculptor of the equestrian statue of Frederick William IV. Created between 1875 and 1886, the bronze work depicts the 19th-century Prussian king.
The statue is installed in front of the Alte Nationalgalerie in the Mitte district of Berlin. It stands in the Spandauer Vorstadt at Bodestraße, where it remains a prominent fixture of the city's landscape.
Standing 9.6 meters tall, the memorial serves as a public monument to the monarch. It remains a notable example of 19th-century sculpture located near the gallery's entrance.
